It's time for the annual "look how much weight I gained over the holidays ๐Ÿ˜ž", and New Year's resolution to lose weight. Does anyone use a food and exercise tracker app on their Android device? How is your experience with it?

For nutritional tracking, I used to use LoseIt. Really big barcode library, the UI looks good, and it's pretty simple to use. The issue is that now, without paying for a subscription, it's worthless. You cannot see anything outside of the total calorie count for free. This did not used to be the case, and it really sucks.

If anyone knows a better replacement, I'd love to check it out.

I currently use LoseIt as well and have for the past few years. Honestly I would say it's worth buying the lifetime purchase when it goes on sale around the New Year. It's usually marked down to around $30ish and in my opinion is worth it if it's going to be a daily use thing. I like the UI and it's pretty intuitive and the large barcode library is a big plus.

But I also get some people just want a free tracker that's simple to use. Unfortunately it feels like those are becoming harder and harder to find anymore. So I'd much rather just pay once and have the app unlocked and ads removed rather then a subscription bleeding me over time.

I should consider that at some point, but it'll have to wait for now. A while ago, I've paid for a yearly sub, just once, and honestly felt like I didn't get enough value out of my money, especially considering i'm struggling financially sometimes
